lol. Sometime too much transparency or information is a problem. I get that. All the first world problem we have (Fortunately). The entire experience for me was ghosty. The car sat at Emden for 3 months before it hop on the ghost ship. Zero update in between.

Very true. My GT3 had some significant delays as well. Agreed on too much info and first world problems. Fun to track the progress until you hit a delay.

Was supposed to take delivery of my PTS car today, and unfortunately now have a headlight error. Dealer confirmed it needs a new headlight. Won't be able to get it until next week. After waiting years, what's another couple of days. Better caught then, than the day after delivery. Not the first I've heard of headlight issues either.

My SA confirmed V-215 status for my GT4 RS today. Is it safe to say my PTS is locked and accepted?

What seems to be a typical delay time for recent 4rs cars from start of production to end of production?

For me production started 22 Feb and initial end of production date was 08 Mar. Then it got delayed to 28 Mar, 12 Apr, 03 May and now its 17 May.

So it is roughly 3 months total production time so far.

Has anyone got longer delay or am I the "luckiest" one?

If you’re V313, you’ve completed production. That’s post V300 production complete.

Sadly, my car started production December 11th and is still in production. It is PTS with the weissach stripe.

Your car might stay in V313 for quite a while (mine has been like that since 2/22). V313 is also produced but missing parts

Mine was produced on 2/22 (started on 2/9), and I'm still waiting for it to be shipped (3/10, 4/5, 4/26, 5/17 and now 5/20). I have a poker of excuses from the dealer…

I told them that if it goes beyond 5/20 to be shipped, I want my deposit back, they can eat the car. In Europe now the stupidity of the hype of asking for insane prices is gone. They are now below MSRP

I've always gone through Houston and am not familiar with Freeport but assume it is much smaller and simply doesn't have capacity right now.
My car was on the Lake Wanaka as well and my stop was Freeport. It looks like we are waiting for a truck to move them to the dealer now. Getting close.
